Amazingly STUPID you are ... when someone makes a quote that you don't
want to believe was actually said, then you can, at the most, ask for
a reference.

If you don't, and deny that it was said, you end up lokking very, very, very
stupid.

As reported in the WSJ, 25-Oct-93:

Columnist George Will to National Education Association
President Keith Geiger on "This Week With David Brinkley" on
30-Aug-93:

Mr. Will: "About 50% of urban area public school teachers
with school age children send their children to private
schools. What do they know that we ought to know?".

Mr. Geiger: "It's about 40%".

These opinions are MINE, and you can't have 'em! (But I'll rent 'em cheap ...)
